Available locally, a very fine map at a scale of 1:40,000 with the title Schesaplana Wanderkarte shows all the huts and footpaths highlighted in red (the Prättigauer Höhenweg is marked in green). On the reverse is a depiction of the main footpaths with estimated walking times between selected points. This sheet includes the whole of the Prättigauer Höhenweg trek and that of the Rätikon Höhenweg, but does not extend into the Silvretta range.

While the vast majority of trails adopted by treks in this guide are waymarked and clearly defined under normal summer conditions, in a very few places the route is not obvious and concentration will be called for. There are also several remote sections where an accident could have serious consequences. Mountains contain a variety of objective dangers, and it is the responsibility of all who tackle a multi-day route to be alert to such dangers and be prepared to cope with them and their consequences. The following list of dos and don’ts therefore contains common-sense suggestions to help avoid mishaps.
